Social Engagement

Social Engagement

At QbD, we invest in people every day. We give them the chance to grow and develop. We help them build solid teams and relations. And, of course, we ensure that they can count on stable processes medical products that are safe for them.

Improving the quality of life is in our DNA. This also goes for the lives of those who need that extra helping hand. That’s why QbD gladly supports many good causes: projects that really make a difference, driven by enthusiasm and goodwill. It’s one way to put our value ‘joy’ into practice. Because helping others is what brings us joy every day. Here are some of the projects we regularly support:

Our catering partner Bits N Bites

Helping disabled youngsters develop their talents

Good food is the motor of excellent ideas. That’s why the catering for QbD’s ThinkTank gatherings is always provided by Bits N Bites, an organization that is close to the heart of our CEO Bart. Bits N Bites is on a mission: its manager Anne is eager to prove that disabled children are more than capable of preparing delicious meals.

Bits N Bites is a unique caterer that gives youngsters with an intellectual disability, who find it hard to get a job elsewhere, the chance to develop their talents. Working as equals, all colleagues make a difference here, enjoying the pride and pleasure of real teamwork. Just like we do at QbD! Do you have an appetite for more information?

Sponsoring Kinderkankerfonds

Running & cooking for vital research

QbD also regularly sponsors Kinderkankerfonds, the organization that helps children with cancer and their families, while supporting scientific cancer research. In April 2017, QbD ran the Antwerp 10 Miles for this good cause. As every runner was sponsored by friends and family, the team collected a nice sum. CEO Bart willingly doubled this amount, which resulted in a € 3000 cheque that was donated to Kinderkankerfonds.

In December 2014, QbD made the Warmest Week even warmer, by turning its directors into enthusiastic cooks who served burgers and jenever. The profit of this enterprise – as well as funds raised during QbD’s G-force 7 event – was donated to Kinderkankerfonds.

Sponsoring children’s books with a warm heart

Enchanting stories for good causes

QbD sponsors the book publications of Raymond De Bruyne, a former high school teacher of CEO Bart. All earnings on these children’s books are fully donated to charity. This year, sales on Renske is verliefd (‘Renske is in love’) will support Menno’s Droom (www.mennos-droom.be), which organizes different initiatives for children with cancer and their families. Previously, Raymond published stories to support good causes like Bring a Smile, With Love by Ferre and Cliniclowns. Or how well-told stories can bring comfort and relief in many ways.
